Before the interview, ask for references and experience of your new babysitters. You’ll have the possibility to call other parents to see what they think about the babysitter. Ask the questions that you find important and see if the sitter and your kids are a good match.

What questions do I ask during an interview?

But it is always good to talk about her experience, motivation, availability and babysitting rate. Also, trust your instincts to see if the babysitter feels right.

We will never reveal your street name or house number, nor will we ever share your address with third parties.

Is Sitly safe?

Sitly is an online market place where parents and babysitters in the same area can find each other. You can more or less see where they live. When you meet a babysitter, you plan an interview and check their references, like you would when you'd find a babysitter through family or friends. In fact, it is just an expansion of your horizon: you'll see babysitters in the area that you didn't know before, but who might just live a few 100 meters away.

What does Sitly do about safety? We have manual checkups to see nothing is out of the ordinary and alerts on our platform that notify us if something other than usual is happening. We provide a secured environment in which you can send messages, and we give babysitters the opportunity to upload their references. We take all notions and messages about safety very seriously. So, do you have a question regarding safety on our platform, or did you receive a message that you think is not appropriate? Then please contact our support team at info@sitly.es
